I'm sorry if this has been posted already. Can't seem to find any thread.
The thing is I updated my s3 from 4.0.4 to 4.3 directly via Odin.
And now I'm getting an "Emergency calls only" error.
I tried reading every thread. If there is someone who would help me??
Please.
Thanks.

Yes. The IMEI and serial number are intact.
When I call on that number, I can hear a ring.
But phone doesn't notify!
Have you cleared the cache (and dalvik if rooted)?.
Factory reset?.

Yes. I tried data, cache, dalvik wipes.
Nothing helps.
Will going back to ics help?
I have the efs backup. But it's v1
Usual reason a phone is on old firmware is the efs had been badly repaired and won't work with v2 firmwares.

This is slightly off topic, but I desperately need help.
I put ICS on my Dads Samsung Galaxy a few days ago, and left him to it after that. He decided he didn't like it and without asking me about it, decided to restore it back to GB through CWM recovery. He's now stuck on the boot screen every time he starts his phone.
I'd really appreciate some help here guys.
Thanks in advance.

try wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot from recovey...
if no hope try wipe data factory reset and do again a restore..
I like your dad's decision - the way he went about it is obviously flawed...
Standard bootloop? Flash stock etc. Backup?

Wipe data/cache from the recovery menu and then try a restore.
if doesnt work probably there are some corrupt files in the backup so wipe and then flash the rom you(your dad ) want.

Will do!
Also, the reason for him wishing to restore was something to do with the fact his phone calls weren't working. He said he posted on here through this account and got no reply so decided to try and restore it.
He can make and answer calls, but he can't hear or be heard by the other person.
Any idea?

now the things are already on the midway...lets see after flashing the new ROM,
Odin froze and closed. The phone is now unresponsive. Help!?!?!?!?!?!?

OP, I thought you said your dad's phone is a Galaxy S, not an S2? Well this is a link to S2 firmwares.
Edit: went back and read... Yup, you said he is stuck on the i9000 screen. You are better off asking for i9000 help in the i9000 forums...else people will assume you are talking about an i9100, and tell you to do things for the i9100, like above.

Hi,
I'm currently on a CyanogenMod rom. I need to flash back to a stock ICS if i want to flash an AOKP or other rom or just install over CyanogenMod ?
Download a stock ICS ROM off sammobile.com, put your phone in download mode and flash via Odin. If you want another custom ROM, download the .zip file, put on SD Card, do all wipes in CWM and flash.
Chris.

I'm on custom ics now and wanna flash the AOKP rom.
And do i need to do all wipes before and after flashing any rom ?
Your safer to. Prevents any force closures or other app problems. Just do cache partition wipe, data wipe/factory reset, dalvik cache wipe and battery stats wipe. Then flash ROM, and then re-wipe cache partitions and run fix permissions. That should prevent any problems. Also, none of your data will be wiped off your SD card. Also, make sure you back up your EFS folder to protect your IMEI, there is a developer on here that makes the Advanced EFS back up application. Use it as a precaution!

Ok flashing complete. Now i need to reboot and then again go into recovery and do all wipes or immediately when completed flashing without reboot ?
Do them now as a precautionary procedure. And that should be you!

Thanks 4 help
Check your IMEI by dialling *#06# and make sure it is the same as the one on the box of your phone. If it is, back it up immediately if you haven't done so already with the application I mentioned in my previous post. You'll thank me later when you need it and have it backed up!

The one thing i am surprised is that you cant flash a stock rom via odin.... Why? Its not supposed to ask for a security code.... Unless the bootloader is locked?... Cant get this off my mind... I have never experienced this issue even though ive flashed many times...
Edit: No. Odin does not wipe the internal sd card. All documents and media are safe. Only app, app data and settings, and system settings are deleted.

CM9 is flashable via odin (if you use the noob-proof instructions), but to update it you will need to access recovery.
